Labrador Retriever Puppies For Sale in Tuscaloosa

According to registration statistics recently released by the American Kennel Club® (AKC), the Labrador Retriever is the most popular purebred dog in America for the 21st straight year. More than twice as many Labs were registered than any other breed making it a likely leader for many years to come.

In a recent article, a licensed professional counselor for more than twenty-five years, explained how owning a Lab can help produce healthier, happier, more well adjusted children. Here is an excerpt from her article:

 Dogs can help children grow stronger.

Just by being a part of the family, dogs can help contribute to keeping your children healthier.  According to Science Daily, kids who grow up with dogs have fewer allergies and are less likely to have eczema than other children.  They grow up with higher levels of certain immune system supporters that keep them in better shape as they get older.  School systems report that children from homes with dogs also have fewer sick days during the school year.  Another benefit in this area of physical strength is that kids who play with dogs can take  falling down and rough and tumble play much better.

Did you know…

• Tuscaloosa is known as the Druid City because of its abundance of old oaks and hardwoods. This nickname was given during Civil War times.
• Because of the Black Warrior River, many Indian trails came together here. This point was the southern-most spot on the river which could be consistently forded during most of the year. This same network of trails also brought white settlers to the area. After the War of 1812, the number of settlers increased greatly. The settlement of cabins which rose up here was named for the great chief, Black Warrior who met up with explorer, Hernando DeSoto, centuries before.
• The name, Tuscaloosa is from the Choctaw words, tushka, which means warrior and lusa, which means black. Tuscaloosa was incorporated on 13 December 1819 as part of Alabama territory. This was just one day before Alabama was admitted to the Union as a state, making Tuscaloosa one day older than the State of Alabama. Tuscaloosa was named the state capital in 1826 and served as such until 1846. The University of Alabama was established in Tuscaloosa in 1831. The University was burned during the last part of the war effort with only four of the original buildings remaining.
